Description
"If you know your why for plant-based eating then you are more likely to succeed."Sneha Jain joins us another Registered Dietitian & a Certified Diabetes Educator. She serves the East Bay Area’s vulnerable and underserved communities to promote wellness and prevention of chronic diseases. She was born and raised in an Indian Jain vegetarian family. Jainism is one of the world's oldest religion that originated in India > 2500 years ago. Today it’s a minority religion and almost all Jains are vegetarians in line with guidance to pursue ahimsa which means non violence to all living beings. We discuss her upbringing as a faith-based vegetarian, her acclimation to the US and what day to day struggles she helps her clients overcome. This was a fascinating look into a plant forward lifestyle from a completely different perspective.
